Summoned by the Earth: Healing Our World with Cynthia Jurs of Alliance for the Earth

April 28, 2025 • Erin Haley • Season 3 • Episode 8

Cynthia Jurs is founder of Alliance for the Earth, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting a global community committed to the healing of the Earth. She is also a teacher in the Buddhist tradition.

Cynthia has spent the last 30 years traveling the world with a healing practice that involves burying clay pots in the Earth called Earth treasure vases. This network of almost 100 vases and growing spans dozens of countries across the globe on all 7 continents. Each vase is filled with its own unique healing aspirations and blessings. It is a practice that has fostered community and built cross cultural connections in the spirit of climate stewardship.

In this episode, Cynthia and I discuss how the Earth Treasure vase practice first came to be and its inspiring unfolding in the decades since. It was fascinating to speak with Cynthia about this unique calling, and I am delighted to share this conversation with you.
